What is your heart telling you?

What do you think about what happens to you? What do you do when your heart is telling you to do something, but your mind is telling you to move on? If you pass by a poor woman that is holding a baby in her arms, what do you do? I guess, maybe 5 out of 10 people would stop and give her some money or something to eat.

And that's a good thing, I'm not saying it isn't, but why don't we really do what our heart is telling us to do. You know what I'm talking about. That little bouncing thing that's the source of your life is telling you: "Stop! Why don't you talk to this woman and at least encourage her to go on, even though her life is hard. You need encouragements don't you? And you are doing pretty well compared to her, so don't you think she would need some too?"

Have you ever stopped and talked to such a needing person? If you did, let me give you the warmest embrace you could receive! Thank you for doing what I failed to do! Thank you for choosing to listen to your heart instead of your brain! I embrace you!

I had to choose this also, more than once, and I always chose to listen to my mind. But I'm fed up with this and this is why I've promised myself I would do this no longer and fight this the next time I have to decide what to do. I know that when I meet a poor person, it's all a test for me. It's a test to see if I changed or not. It's a test to help me more than the other person. I'm actually the poor one, not her.

If I pass by and only give her something to eat or money, it's ok. But I've only listened to my heart partially and that's not enough! It's like when a man has tripped and is falling in a deep crater and you do what anyone would do, jump and help him. You grab his arm and pull him up. This is when you are listening to your heart and it's the same as if you are giving something to a poor man. But if you don't actually try to help that poor man or woman even more, to at least talk to him/her, I think, it's like you stop pulling that man that is falling, and you follow what your mind is telling you. And the man falls just because you didn't listen to your heart.

I've let many men fall until now, and I hope I can do better the next time I have the chance. This is just another battle that I have to take and I must win it. And so will you. You must do your best to listen to your heart, because your heart is showing you the road to the real you. The you that knows that he could be the one that's standing down there, reaching for another human's hand. If you would be in that situation, would you enjoy some encouragement? Then listen to your heart and give them to that person that is reaching out for you. You just might actually help yourself.

Don't worry if your mind doesn't agree with what your heart is telling you. That happens, but it doesn't mean that your heart is wrong. Far from it. Most of the times, your heart is actually guiding you, not your brain. Your heart will never lead into something that will be bad for you. Sooner or later, if you followed your heart, you will see that you did the right thing, even though, sometimes it may seem the other way around.

So, please, the next time you have to take a decision, ask yourself: "What is my heart telling me?" Don't just listen to your mind. Consult your heart, as well, and put yourself in the others man's shoes. Try to see the world through his/her eyes and make the right choice: do what your heart is telling you. Can't you hear your heart screaming? Maybe your heart is telling you to learn some listening skills exercises so you can make more friends :)

I embrace you,
